If memory serves, Cetara is one on those many little towns that is passed on
the way to another destination where one wishes to stop and explore it. But
time won't permit it. Minori, which is just up from Cetara, is another one
of those little towns. Minori is the the town that is just below--way below
:-)--Ravello. It is the town in many of the famous photographs taken from
Ravello of the Amalfi coast. There are usually concerts in Ravello--look at
Http://rcs.amlficoast.it/Concerti_2001.htm for the schedule. For a real
treat arrange for lunch or dinner at Rossellini's at the Sasso Hotel in
Ravello. For one which is less expensive, we enjoyed Cumpa Cosimo there.

I think that the Amalfi coast road further along gets to be a white
knuckler but the road between Vietri-Cetara--Minori is not terribly
challenging. So if I were you, those towns plus Ravello would be in my plans
from your base in Vietri. Once you get used to the road, I am sure you
will want to venture further to Amalfi. The road up to Ravello from the
coast road has many curves and switchbacks but is not at all bad. My wife is
usually uptight about those kind of roads but had no problem with it at all.

In Cetara, my restaurant choice would be San Pietro; in Minori. L'Arsensale;
in Vietri, Sapore di Mare and in Amalfi, Lido Azzurro or, for pizza, A
Teatro. Don't miss the marinated or fried fresh anchovies! You will find
that the food is marvelous, especially if you like seafood.
